Due to snowy and icy conditions impacting a significant portion of the southern part of Wood County, Wood County Schools will now be closed today, Tuesday, March 17, 2026. While some areas of the county may not be experiencing the same conditions, roadways in other areas remain hazardous. Because our buses and families travel across many different communities and road conditions, this decision was made to prioritize the safety of all students and staff throughout the entire county. We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure everyone can travel safely.

Due to various road conditions throughout the county, Wood County Schools will be on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.

There is still time, and a few spaces remain—reserve your child’s spot in Pre-K at Wood County Schools today.

Community Bank, our partner in education, has helped JEC students open their very own savings accounts—and now we’re launching a fun challenge! 🍕📚
From now through May 14, the homeroom with the most individual deposits (not dollar amounts!) will win a pizza party at the end of the year! Banking takes place every Thursday morning at the front entrance.
Let’s get those accounts opened and those deposits rolling in! 💰
These accounts stay with students for years to come—even after they leave JEC.
